Purpose and Values
At Avangrid, we’re pioneering a healthier, brighter energy future that begins with understanding and improving the lives of the people we serve.
Our purpose
Improving lives positively.
At Avangrid, we’re driven problem-solvers dedicated to creating the energy solutions we all need to thrive. The kind that are a win for our environment—protecting precious natural resources. The kind that are a win for our communities—creating new job opportunities. And the kind that are a win for our customers—providing safe, reliable, and affordable access to energy.
Solving problems sustainably.
We provide lasting value to our customers and shareholders. By committing to industry-leading sustainability goals, we’re promoting affordable, clean energy strategies to safeguard our environment, advance our society, and strengthen our company’s financial health.
Reducing emissions ambitiously.
As a member of the Iberdrola Group, Avangrid supports Iberdrola’s goal to be carbon neutral in generation by 2030 and net zero before 2040. Since 2018, Avangrid’s emissions intensity rate has been more than five times lower than the U.S. electric power sector average. Through our Power business, we are one of the nation's largest producers of wind and solar energy, with over 11 GW of emissions-free installed capacity.
Growing returns ethically.
We’re committed to upholding industry-leading sustainability standards and principles in everything we do to achieve strong financial results. Since 2019, we have been awarded the Compliance Leader Verification certification by the Ethisphere Institute—a certification that is exclusive to companies that maintain best-in-industry corporate compliance programs, granted only after an extensive assessment process.
Living our core values each day.
